Netball Queensland Carnivals

The Nissan State Age Championshipis Netball Queensland’s junior association representative carnival.

State Age Championship

Teams – One team per Association across the age groups

Location – Ipswich Netball Association

Date – 7th – 10th July

Premier League

The Queensland Premier League (QPL) Competition is a new addition to the Netball Queensland development pathway, and is the next level up from playing in a junior representative team. Last year, three of our QPL players were talent identified from the QPL carnival in Emerald, and from there were invited to Netball Queensland’s “Emerging Players Camp”, which serves as a preliminary selection process for Queensland squads.

Dates:

QPL Dates TBA

Age Groups

16U years, 18U years, Open Ladies, Open Mens, Masters* (*turning 35 or over in 2018)

RNA Team & Positions Format

Teams

A minimum of 9 players will be selected for each team. For State Age, there will only be one team selected. A Development team will also be selected for carnivals TBA. The development team players will be the first in line to move into the State Age team should a position become available.

Training Partners

A training partner is a player identified to continue to train with the representative group, allowing the player to develop their skills as would any other representative player. The training partner, in the case of injury or illness, will replace a player either at the State Event, or any other carnival (such as Red Rooster).In the event of a player withdrawing from the State Age team, a Development team player will move up, and a training partner will enter the Development team.

Should a selected player continually not attend training and not abide by the Junior Representative Player Commitments, the selectors may elect to move a nominated training partner into the representative side. During the season, selectors may add onto the training partners.

In the case of 10 players being selected in a team, it will be at the selector’s discretion as to what position/s the 10th player will be put in.

Once teams have been named, they will be put up on the RNA website. You will also receive a letter from the Rep Convenor.

Even though players will nominate their preferences, they may not be selected in their 1st or 2nd preference. If, for example, the selectors opt to trial them in their 3rd preference, and identify that the team will be stronger with her in that position, that’s where she will be selected. We often find that, especially with the younger age groups, most players want to shoot. Unfortunately we can’t select a full team of shooters, so that’s why we changed the nomination form for players to order the positions in their preferences.

Fitness

It is up to each individual player to maintain their own fitness, as team training sessions will be focussing on skills. We will be offering some ZUU fitness sessions, but players are to continue fitness training in their own time.
